Hong Kong Design Institute - Design Graduation Show 2011

Hi

Today have met a friend of mine at Tiu Keng Leng (調景嶺) and have a chance to visit the Hong Kong Design Institute. Surpisingly, they have the Design Graduation Show 2011. Personally, I'm interested in the product, interior and digital media design. Here is the poster:


The institute is very close to the MTR station. If you like design in general. I think it is worth to have a visit. Interesting though.

Bad Mood

Recently have had a really bad mood for a couple of weeks already....partly because of work and mainly is the bloddy decoration work upstair. I live on 17th floor and my bloddy neightbour 18th's new owner is now carrying out 'huge' decor works....well comparing with my daily job on site, it is nothing in fact....

Back to 3 weeks ago, it was a Thursday night. Around 10pm, I was at home and suddenly the power was gone. Obviously I called the management office asking for what happen. Waiting about 45min., luckily power was back and then gone again in 30min. The electrician (a more pro term, should be called 'see fu' in HK) said my flat's main cable is likely damaged. 70% caused by the decor works upstair and he couldn't get the power back during that night. It was during middle of the night - no light, no fan, no hot / warm water...totally darkness. On the next day, the 'see fu' went upstair to find out what happened. I was told by those pro 'see fu' that my flat's main cable was damaged and they fixed it on Friday. Of course I was really happy coz I got the 'power' back!!!

Last Friday when I got back home from work, switching on the light......no light!!!! Power gone again?????? Why????? Why it's me again????? Called the management office and a 'see fu' came. I was told that my fuse box....well a more pro term (coz I'm a silly architect) is called MCB box) is likely to be passed away......partly caused by the decor works......That 'see fu' was very nice and trying to help me to get the power back. Thank GOD, I got the power back during that night!!!!! On the following day, I had asked an electrician to replace my fuse box and such costed me HK$2500.  OK, I accepted this coz my old....well...really old fuse box was 30 years old. I didn't blamed anybody.

The worst thing happened this Wednesday....the bloody workers upstair has formed a hole to my ceiling. They used the drill to drill thorugh the concrete slab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All rubble has safely rested on my monitor, desk, chair and floor. Now above my head, there is a hole on the ceiling. Can u believe this??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I was fuming on that night and the following day. Calling the management office, arguing with the owner of upstairs and the workers. I have hidden my temper for many years and it was the time to show off architect's temper.........
 
Today is Friday and I'm totally exhausted now. I need to work tomorrow and wish having a good sleep tonight.
